Introduction 0
The Quantum Rack Mount Slide Kit is designed to facilitate the mounting of
1U Rackmount systems in standard EIA-310 equipment racks. These
telescoping slide rails provide easy access to the 1U Rackmount by allowing
you to unlock and slide it forward.
Installing the slide rails involves the following steps:
•Step 1: Installing the Chassis Sections onto the 1U Rackmount on page 4
•Step 2: Installing the Stationary Sections onto the Equipment Rack on
page 5
•Step 3: Installing the 1U Rackmount into the Equipment Rack on page 9
Required Tools 0
To install the slide rails, you may need the following additional items:
• Available rack space in a suitable equipment rack
• #2 PHILLIPS® screwdriver
Warning: For maximum stability, the equipment rack should be securely
bolted to the floor per the rack manufacturer’s
recommendations.
After installing components in the equipment rack, do not pull
out more than one component on its slide rails at a time. If the
equipment rack is not securely bolted to the floor, the weight
of more than one extended component could cause the
equipment rack to become unstable, tip over, and cause
damage, serious bodily injury, or death.

Step 1: Installing the Chassis Sections onto the
1U Rackmount 0
There are two chassis sections, one for each side of the 1U Rackmount chassis.
1Pull the chassis section of the rail forward, past the mounting flange on
the front of the rail set (see figure 1).
The intermediate section and the chassis section will lock in place when
fully extended.
2Press the release button to release the intermediate section and slide out
the chassis section (see figure 1).
Figure 1 Pressing the
Release Button
3Attach one chassis section to each side of the 1U Rackmount chassis using
four screws per side (see figure 2).

Follow the instructions for your size rack as follows:
•For 24-Inch Racks on page 5
•For Racks Deeper than 24 Inches on page 7
For 24-Inch Racks 01Install both stationary sections onto the front pillars of the equipment
rack, using two screws in the bottom two mounting holes of each
stationary section (see figure 3). See Typical Rack and Slide
Configurations (For Reference Only) on page 11 for information on
appropriate mounting hardware.
